Yep, this was an interesting thread. I’ve done what you plan on, Troutman , which is to sell off less used grills. So my list has changed in the last month. I’d say I have a 60/40 split between my PK TX and my own brand of stick burner. Real nice to have a backyard size stick burner I can move around, but the PK is a killer steak/sear machine.

Weber Genesis S330 with GrillGrates
Weber Summit Kamado E6
Weber Performer with SnS, DnG and Pit Viper mod
Weber 26" kettle with SnS, DnG and Pit Viper mod
Traeger Flatrock Griddle
PKGO
Fireboard (2)
Thermoworks Smoke
Thermoworks MK4 (2)
Themoworks Thermapen ONE
Accessories ranging from a Vortex to bear claws.
Definitely my Performer with all the fixins'. Just the wife and I now and there's nothing it can't do. Especially with a Fireboard/fan.
Next would probably be the Blackstone.
I love the 26", but it only gets used when I need/want the space.
Gasser only gets used for searing or quick cooks like hot dogs and veggies.
I only use the PBC when I just want to do something different.
The PKGO is new and has only been used for quick cooks when I want the charcoal flavor.

About Me
Real name: Jesse
Location: Grand Rapids, Michigan
Favorite Football Team: Michigan Wolverines (NCAA) and the Detroit Lions (primary NFL) / Baltimore Ravens (secondary NFL, after the Lions are statistically eliminated from the playoffs... usually by Thanksgiving)
Occupation:- Aerospace/Software/Systems Engineer
In order
1) Weber Kettle
2) Large BGE
3) Weber Q Gasser
4) Electric Smoker Cabinet Style
5) Weber Silver A ancient gasser that doesn’t work.
The BGE used to be my go-to, but I figured that it was so easy to control temp (and therefore make great food) that I needed to use my Kettle more. The BGE is still the go to for low and slow, but I am working on my Kettle skills, because I can’t be hapless without my BGE now can I. The Q gets the quick burgers/hot dog treatment in the summer. The electric smoker is on the list to remind me to sell it... and I haven’t managed to find time to replace the burners in the Silver A to get it running, maybe I should go do that now!

I reconditioned my 2002 Weber Genesis Silver A a couple of years go, including outfitting it with a full set of Grillgrates - those made it like a new grill! Last May I moved it to my youngest daughter's house after she got married, with a new cover and all. I do not believe they have grilled a SINGLE time, so I am tempted to repossess it and give to someone who will use it, haha...

Sadly, on my recent move from Florida to Tennessee, we had a truck too full for my 26†kettle so I only moved my SnS Kamado and Weber kettle. The kettle was damaged badly in the move so I replaced it with the SnS Kettle and a 36†Blackstone. Currently the Blackstone is used the most, then the kettle and then the kamado.

I would say overall, it is my Big Green Egg. However, from just a smoking standpoint.....I would say the KBQ. It still cranks out the best BBQ I make.

From the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia
i have done brisket, ribs, pulled pork, cheese, pastrami, turkey and chicken. my goal this spring and summer is trout (if i can catch a few) and salmon.
For me my Blackstone gets the most work, followed closely by the PBC. The other cookers have specific tasks that i will use them for like my old electric masterbuilt smoker i use for things that i want to hold to a lower temp than i can maintain on the PBC, like smoking bacon.
